The lion. A. H. Stephens addressed tho
people of Gretna eomrty at Grecasboro’ one
d tv last week, in which lie said, among other
tkitv s that if the Civil rights bill should pass
and tho people of the South refrain fram all
outbreaks until a cass could bo brought be-
foro the .Supreme Court, that tribunal would
declare the measure unconstitutional, aud
therefore void. _

It is announced, will canvass tho second dis-

«rati« nominee for Congress. As W hitaley s
majority at tho last elcctien was loss than 100,
he ought to he easily beaten now.
THE BULLOCK BONDS. *
Au Unfortunate Blunder--A State Couvsitlen
the Freper Remedy.
: It bu been discovered that the propeeed
Constitutional amendment reacted bj the last
Legislature, forever prohibiting the payment
of the bogus Bullock bond*, leaves out of the
account about five millioue of said bonds,
which is more than one-half.
While we will not say that this blunder was
intontional on the part of the Legislature, or
of any member of it, M do say that it is very
unfortunate.
Tho Constitution provides that it may be
amended by the passage of a hill for that pur
pose at two succeeding sessions of the Legis
latnre and a subsequent ratification by the
people. •
Tho opponents of a Constitntienal Conven
tion attempted at the last session to amend
the organic law in this manner, so far as bogus
bonds are concerned, and bat for the unfortu
nate* blunder referred to, the thing might have
been consummated immediately after the ad
journment of the next session ef tho Legisla
ture-say, in March next; whereas, now, hav
ing to begin de novo, it cannot ho done until
1876.
To remedy this, it is preposed that the Gov
ernor shall convene the Legislature in oxtra
session ! Whero, now, is all the clamor about
expense, which we heard when a Convention
was proposed t An extra session of the Leg
islature will cost the people vastly more than
a Convention—while it wonid only make this
one change in the Constitution—whereas, the
Convention would give us a Constitution for
the State of Georgia, made by authority of, by
and for the People of Georgia, instead of tho
one authorized by usurped antbority and
framed by carpet-baggers, seaiawags and no
groes.
Some of our cotemporaries are calling on the
Governor to order an extra session of the Leg
islature. We hope Gov. Smith will do no such
thing, but threw tho responsibility upon the
Legislature. Let tho people require their rep
resentatives, as soon as they moet, to provide
for a Constitutional Convention to meet on the
22d of February. It will forevor kill the Bul
lock bonds, and give us a good Constitution,
which may be submitted for popular ratiflea
tion in March—which will constitutionally dis-
poso of tho bogus bonds at as early a period as
if no blunder had been made, or as soon as it
could be done by calling an oxtra session of
the Legislature.
If Gov. Smith will keep hands off, tho Peo
ple will giro this matter proper direction.

Mr. Editor .-—The Jackson county Democra
cy did the party and that noble old connty an
honor lo selection of candidates for the Legis
lature last Friday. Capt. A. C. Thompson Is
decidedly one of the most popular and promi
nent men in that or any other connty—trusted
often by the people both before and daring the
war, and since, with the most responsible po
sitions in their gift. He has ever acquitted
himself with credit and has, by his high toned ,
gentlemanly conduct, won .the esteem of all
who came in contact with him. A man of fine
natural sense and fine culture, he has ever
wielded his influence in furtherance of the
welfare of bis county, and if elected to the
Legislature will prove himself a solid, nsefnl
member, far above ail manner of corruption.
He has twice served in Jackson as Tax Col
lector before the war; was captain of one of
the finest companies in the army—beloved by
all—wounded while gal’antly leading his com
pany at Crampton’s Gap. He was in I860
eleeted to the office of Ordinary, which respon
sible post he filled until ho entered the mili
tary serviee, witB credit alike to himself and
bis friends. He has often been chosen as
foreman of grand juries, and, in all places,
religions, social, military or civil, ho has ever
proven himself a bold, frank, honest support
er of the right. .
Judge W. J. Colquitt, the other nominee, is'
another of nature's noblemen, an honest man,
without guile, politically, socially or morally
and one held in high esteem forbis many good
qualities of bead and heart; as firm and trae
a man os lives, of fine judgment and nerve to
back it. He was at one time a member of the
Inferior Court of his county aid acquitted
himself honorably—was in the army as a pri
vate the latter part of the war—he is a splen
did farmer and one who has done much to ad
vance the interest of agricnlture by a thorough
system of experimenting. The people of
Jackson will be honored and the county bene
fited by the election of these excellent gentle
men. Jackson Democracy, rally to your nom
inees. Granger.
Third District.
Tb# Radicals of tho Third have nominated
lion. Samuol F. Govo, who was a member of
the 40th Congress. Mr. Gove is not a carpet
baggor, having conic to Georgia when quite
young, and fought for tho Lost Canso. Ho is
iu politics a Radical and must be beaten.
REVOLUTION IN LOUISIANA
Kellogg Deposed and n Xcw Governor In.
stalled--The Revolutionists Surrender to
the United States Forces.
The late news from New Orleans has stirred
np a degroc of excitement exceeding auy thing
which has been witnessed in this couutry since
S
the war.
Our readers remember tk» history of tho
Kollogg usurpation—how, though not elected
by the people, ho was declared the legal Go
vernor by a corrupt Judge, and as such recog
nized l>y the President. Thoy will remember
liew the peoplo liavo been oppressed by wner
ous taxation—how their rights have been
trampled on, and insult has boon added to in
jury.
Things wont on frem had to worso, until an
order was recently issued to disarm the people
—clearly in violation of the Constitution.—
This was tko feather which broke tho camel’s
hack. A mass meeting of citizens was callod
at the Clay statue—a committee appointed to
wait on Kellogg and request him to abdicate
Ha could not bo found in porson ; but, through
bit subaltern, he declined to accede to tbo re
quest. On Mondsy, the citizens appeared un
dor arms, barrioaded tho streets, and were at.
tucked by tho Metropolitan Poliee. who were
armed with muskets and bncked by artillery
all under command of tbo renegade LongBtreot
The fighting was livoly for a few hoars. The
Metropolitans were whipped from the field
and Kellogg and Longstreot sought safety in
the United States Custom House.
On Tuesday, Lieut. Gov. Ponn, who was
elected on tho McEnery ticket, took the oath
of office and entered upon tho discharge of the
duties of Governor. Tho citizens disporsed
and business was resumed as usual.
The U. S. troops present in the city looked
on quietly, and did not tako part on either side
The negroes also were passive observers.
While the abovo was going on, Kellogg telo
graphed to the President for aid, and he issued
a proclamation commanding tho “ insurgents'
to disperse within five days. This thoy had
dona before the proclamation was received.
The people of Louisiana generally aro jubi
lant over the downfall of Kellogg. There was
no bleed shed outside of New Orleans, and the
•fiiccr* throughout tbo State eleeted on the
McEoery ticket have been installed, and quiet
reigns every whore.
It ie claimed that this was not an ontbreak
against the United States, nor an lasurreetion
but a revolution to displace a tyrannical usurp
er, who could not bo removed in any ether
manner.
TIIE REVOLUTIONISTS SURRENDER !
The Government at Washington at once or
dered troops to New Orleans from every direc
tion, and was preparing a naval force to act
with the military.
While this was progressing, Gov. McEnery
and Lieut. Gov. Penn surrendered all the pnb
lie property eaptured, arms, Ac., to General
Emory, in command of the department of the
Gnlf, and disbanded their foroes. They were
willing to surrender to the U. S. authorities,
bat not to Kellogg. All is quiet new, and
orders for concentration ef troops have been
countermanded.
What will be tho next move wo are not pre
pared to say. Tbo opinion of some is, that
military government will be established until
an election ean he fairly and legally bold.
This, it strikes us, would be far preferablo to
the Kellogg usurpation.
Last Act In the Drama.
Tho infamous Kellogg has been reinstated
Governor by order of the President, and the
General in command ordered to maintain his
authority.
It was hoped aud bolleved by aomo that the
Prosidont vroald declare martial law, and loavo
Louisiana under military government until
Congress could ordor an olection. _
Bat tbo pooplo arc denied this poor privi
lege, and forced to submit to the Kellogg
usurpation at tho point of the bayonet.
Geological Survey.
The Atlanta Constitution publishes the fol
lowing facts in reference to tho organization
of the office of State Geologist, preparatory to
entering upon a goological survey of tbe State
as provided for by act of tho last Legislature :
“ As has already boen stated, Dr. George
Little, recently appointed State Geologist, ar
rived here some days ago. He went immedi
ately to work in preparing for the great la
bors before him; and will, we are glad to
state, tako the field in person to-day.
We have also annouaced that the board
of advlscmont had unanimously selected Mr.
A. R. McCntehen, of Walker county (the bill
country,) and Mr. Wrn. S. Schley, of Savan-
For the Southern Watchmen.
A Candidate iu Franklin.
Mr. Editor -.—Since the war, there has been
a great deal of unwise legislation in Georgia.
Large sums of money have been expended, for
which the people have had no adequate re
turn. At no time during tho history of tbe
Stats, has there boen so much money spent,
and so little good accomplished. Why is this
the case t Aro tho people less honest, or less
capable than in the past? I think not. To
my mind, the cause is patent. Oar recent leg
islators have been surrounded by greater dif
ficulties than their predecessors, and it may
be that the people havo not exercised due
caution in selecting them. A mighty revolu
tion has swept over tho country ; tbe status of
tbe negroes has been changed; their transition
from slavery to citizenship was sudden ; capi
tal is seekiug new investments; new ideas are
struggling into existence; the minds of tbe
people are drifting into new channels of
thought, and, as a whole, the people are more
progressive and enterprising than formerly.—
Hence, great changes were, and are still neces
sary in our laws. A legislator who would have
hoars each day to devote to reading, riding,,
walkiog, or other healthy amusement.
Mrs. C.—You almost convince me that I
ought to have a Sowing Machine; but. then,
there are so many different kinds, how is any
one to know which is the best t I see the New
Remington is highly recommended, by that
Company, through the papers, bat I never saw
one.
Mrs. B.—Oh, yes, yon have, but not by that
name. Don’t yon remember tbe old Empire f
well, that and the New Remington are one and
tbe same thing; the name has been changed;
that’s all.
Mrs. C.—Did you ever see the “ New Wilson
Under Feed t”
Mrs. B.—Not by that name; bnt I havo seen
the “ Wilson,” or “ Buck-eye,” as ’tis some
times called. They are all made at Cleveland,
Ohio, by the “ Wilson Company." I suppose
tho New Wilson is the old Bnck-eye amend
ed a la tbe glorious Constitution of the United
States. But why bother about these “ new*
catches, when you have the old reliable Sing
er at hand. Yon knoioitis a good Machine,
for it has been tried in this neighborhood for
years and years, always giving perfect satisfac
tion.
Mrs. C.—1 know the Singer has always had
tbe reputation of being tbe best Machine, bnt
then the Agent of the Domestic (Mr. L.) tells
me it runs heavy and will impair one’s health
to use it.
Mrs. B.—i have used the Singer for three
years—do I look like my health was impaired t
Here is my machine; sit down and try it
yourself, an3 be your own judge as to its run
ning heavy. -
Mrs. C.—Why, it runs splendidly—not at
all heavy—and how beautifully and evenly it
is stitching! I’ll have one, or give Mr. C. a
course of curtain lectures he’ll remember.
Good-bye ; I must run back home.
Mrs. B.—Do come soon again, and let me
know if you get a Singer.

Geologists providod for by tho recent act of equal to tho emergency now. Numerous rail-
the Legislature. Mr. MeCutchen, is a broth
er of Judge McCutclien of the Chorokeo
circuit, and has, it is said, a passion fer
oology.• He has travelled for flfteea years
over North Georgia, and has csllectod speci
mens and mapped the country in his immedi
ate section for sixty miles. He is modast and
sensible withal; well read in the science of
geology, and lias made the best use of the
means at bis hand. Mr. Schley is a son of tbo
late Dr. Schley, of Savannah, and a grandson
of tho late Governor Schley. Ho has spent
seven years in Europe—feur of them at the
miniug school of Ckansthal, in tho Hartz Moun
tains. Ho has also bad two years experience
as mining engineer ana analytical chemist fer
three of the largest mines in the Lake Superi
or copper and iron region.
The aet of the Legislature provides that
the State Geologist shall have access to the
laboratory of tho University; and as be had
nono in this sity, an arrangement has been
made by which he can avail himself of tho
services of Mr. Edward Hunter, of Jofforson
county, now an assistant in tho Faculty of the
University, as chemist. This sseures tho lo
cation of the chemical work of the survey at
Athons
It is the intention of Dr. Little to collect
two sets of specimens—one for the capitol, and
the other for tho University. The latter will
be placed in charge of Prof. Hunter. This
arrangement met tbe approval ef the board of
advisement.
This body has also authorized tho employ
ment of Mr. D. C. Barrow, ef Oglethorpe coun
ty, as tho general assistant and ropreBon ta
tive in this city of tho State Goologist, in his
absence upon field duties. Mr. Barrow will
begin the work of the physical survey by col
lecting from the several engineers tho rail
road surveys, Ac., in this State. It will be
a part of bis duty, also, to collect statistics of
gold, iron, copper and other minerals; to give
information to parties seeking it, so far as he
can do so; to attend to the reception, labeling
and arranging of speeimens sent from tho field
or forwarded by private parties; to attend to
the sorrespondcfico of the bureau; to make
analyses and to fit himself generally for field
work ie the future.
“ Tbe eorps of assistants, then, etaeds thus:
A. R. HeCuteken, geologist and paleontolo
gist; W. S. Schlay, mineralogist end mining
engineer; Edward Hunter, chemist; D. C.
Barrow, engineer, etc. Tbete gentlemen are
well distributed over the State, and are all
native Georgians, and enter upon their work
with great zeal and enthusiasm. In a few
yeai s they will bo able to take tho place of
thei' worthy ehief, if the State sbonld unfor
tunately lose his services. Their aid has been
Becifrod at a trifling expense; but the benefit
ef tjhelr labors will soon bo felt throughout tbe
wnole State.
" Dr. Little himself baa been hero but a
fovi days; and yet he has already accomplished
tho preliminary work of organizing his bureao
anti is now ready to take the field. He has
made the most favorable impression upon the
Go' ernor and board of advisement, and upon
our citizens generally. We may add, that he
baz already been*tbe moans of saving a valua
ble property of a citizen who was about to
sac ifice it.

success, and trust that the people of etntry

roads are being built, and are becoming a
power in the State ; the agricultural and man
ufacturing interests of the country are being
developed as they were never developed be
fore ; tbe holders of spurions bonds are hover
ing around the State Treasury; it is the policy
of the Federal Government to encroach upon
our rights, and we are suddenly awakened to
the terrible conviction that we are tbe slaves
of tho New York money kings. These sub
jects demand the grave consideration of wise
legislators. Men of ordinary capacity—men
who do not read and think, and men who have
ceased to advance, to keep pace with the pro
gress of the age, or to learn anything new—
cannot meet, successfully, the great issues now
before tbe poople of Georgia. Honest and
clever men may offer their services as law
makers, but however honest and clever they
may be, unless they possess more than ordi
nary information, influonce and capacity, they
can do us no good as legislators. Tho men
that we elect to make laws for us must have
other qualifications. There has aover been a
time when the sitaatioa demanded such ex.
tensive information, sound discretion, great
forethought and wisdom in tbe Legislature as
the present. Other things being equal, the
best capacity should be tbe choice of tbo peo
ple. Without intending any disparagement to
others, I can say, in candor, that Rev. Thomas
Crymcs, who is a candidate for Representative,
is eminently qualified lo represent the voters
of Franklin ia tho next Legislature, Be has
information and capacity far above mediocrity.
He is active, painstaking, has untiring energy,
and is a self-made and rising man. Fifteen or
sixteen years ago, ho came among ns a penni
less aud unknown boy; by bis exemplary con-
duet and close applicatioa, he is to-day one of
the acknowledged leaders in the county. He
is a business man, ean draw up busiacss, in
troduce it, and pnsh it through with ability.
If elected, ho will rank as a first-class man in
tbe Heuso of Representatives. Can we do bet
tor than to make him oar Representative f
Voter.

Mrs. B.—Good moroiDg, Mrs. C. How are
you this beautiful morning f
Mrs. C.—I’m feeling dreadfully nervous; sat
up till twelve o’cloek last night, endeavoring
te finish a dress for Cora, who positively had
nothing fit to wear; and, for that matter, Jen
nie and tbe three boys are ia the same semi-
unde predicament. And jest look; my fingers
are pricked to the very quick, and, besides, my
eyes are failing mo very fast, and I’m growing
ss nervous that it is almost impossible for me
to sit still during the day, or get to sloop at
night. I’m really failing very fast, but would
not have Mr. C. notice er know it for the world
How are you, Mrs. B t
Mrs. B.—I feel delightfully well this morn
ing ; never was in better health. You have
no idea bow sorry I am to bear your health is
not fbod, and te see you looking so pale aad
dejected. But you must not giro way to your
feelings. Three years ago I was in wretched
health—pale, sickly, nervous—old Dr, M. had
been attending me for more than a year—I
never went oat, for I looked like a fright, and
the whole of my ill health and tbe consequent
enormous expense, was cansed (I now know)
by the efforts I was compelled to make (sew
ing day and night) to keep my three little girls
and Johnnie supplied with decent clothes.
After little Annie was born, I gave up in de
spair, and told Mr. B. that I could not get
through with my sewing and other dntles with
out a Sewing Machine. He at once saw and
appreciated my position, and sent np two Ma
chines (Wheeler & Wilson and Singer) to try.
After testing these Machines thoroughly for a
week, I bought.the Singer, and have never re
gretted my choice. I am now, in feeling, as
well as in appearance, ton years younger
